At Scinboutique we offer a fantastic range of natural and Organic skincare products to leave any skin looking and feeling sumptuous! There are two main steps in getting the right skincare; most importantly, use products containing totally natural or organic ingredients. This will mean that there is minimal risk of irritation or reaction, your products are made in an environmentally friendly way, were not tested on animals and do not contain any potentially harmful toxins or chemicals. The second step is to understand your skin! You need to be aware of what skin type you are so that you can get the perfect product to handle your skins needs. There are five main skin types…

Normal Skin does not feel dry or oily; the Pores are visible but not large or clogged. After washing it should feel soft and comfortable and should not change throughout the day. It should only occasionally experiences spot breakouts. To care for normal skin you should follow out the traditional routine; cleanse, tone and then moisturise with a product such as Taer Icelandic, 24 hour cream.

Dry Skin is thin, feels rough to the touch and can be red or sore with flaky patches. The pores will appear very small. After a wash it feels tight, as though it is stretched across the face and it hardly ever gets spots. You should not use harsh washes or scrubs on dry skin and should avoid washing in too much. It also requires a heavy cream to replenish the skins moisture. The Pai Chamomile and Rose cleanser and Macadamia and Rose cream for dry skin work perfectly together to turn scales into soft dewy skin.

Oily skin is thick and will feel very greasy and coarse. There are large, visible pores. After a wash it feels fine but will soon become oily again with frequent spot break outs. Be careful to use a light moisturiser on oily skin and once it has been applied, dab away any excess with a tissue. You should use products specifically for greasy skin as they will balance it without drying it out. To give your skin some extra love try products like Aptivitas Oily skin Balance Face Masks.

Combination skin is generally like normal skin but with a few dry patches and oily patches, predominantly around the T-zone, which can break out in spots. This is the most common skin type! Pai Geranium and Thistle moisturiser is a light organic moisturiser which clears and re-balances congested and combination skin.

Sensitive skin is easily irritated and often allergic to many things; this is where organic products are super handy! Typical reactions are itching, burning, chafing and stinging. After washing it can feel dry and itchy in places, and is prone to flaky patches and spots. It is important to use delicate products, preferably unperfumed and definitely no soap. Circaroma Skin Gentle Facial cleansing Drops are perfect for sensitive skin.
